CS04 Confined Space Traverse
Overview
Traversing is any horizontal movement through confined spaces where the worker may be disconnected from the winch line. The basic methods of vertical access are the same, but communications, management and rescue is much more complex. The traversing module builds on our two vertical access courses, and will enable access to almost every type of industrial confined space.
There is an element of assessment in this course.
Prerequisites
Those attending must hold a valid certification in our CS01 Safe Access module, CS03 Multi-Level module (or equivalents), and be medically fit for the practical element of the course.
